Q

Elizabeth: Who said that they were sensible? I´ll wager that papa is on his way to Netherfield at this very moment.

A

Lydia: Well who cares whether we meet Mr. Bingley or not? I dont, for one. I prefer men in uniform-military ones.

Elizabeth: Oh, yes. Army officers are always excellent companions. You can talk to them and be thinking of something else at the same time.

A

Mrs Bennet: Ah, Lydia, my love, where did you get to?

A

Q

Mr. Wickham: That you should be alone for an instant! It is a reflection on the intelligence of every gentleman present that one so young and so surpassing fair should lack an escort.

Q

Mr. Wickham: Our lives of grim duty make us doubly appreciative, Miss Lydia. After the rigors of camp life, it is sheer delight to find oneself in such elegant company in so fine a house.

A

Lydia: You must see many house that are finer.

18
Q

Mr. Wickham: There are not many houses that bespeak so much quiet gentility. A perfect setting for so exquisite an ornament as-

A

Lydia: As what, Mr. Wickham?

19
Q

Mr. Wickham: Need I say it, Miss Lydia?

A

Lydia: Why-yes- I think you might-

20
Q

Mrs Bennet: Do take Mr. Wickham to see our conservatory. We have some- some tropical thing of some kind- I can never remember those dreadful latin names- but they´re peculiarly fine specimens.

A

Lydia: Do come, Mr. Wickham

21
Q

Hill: Oh, Miss Lydia- I shouldn´t- I shouldn´t really! The master will be prodigious vexed if his journal is disturbed. He will be upset for the rest of the day.

A

Lydia: What he doesnt know wont hurt him.

22
Q

Hill: But miss, he knows if even a fly walks on it. He can´t bear a fussed up journal. It turns him up if it´s the least bit creased.

A

Lydia: Be quiet, Hill!

23
Q

Hill: But Miss Lydia, I shall get the brunt of it.

A

Lydia: Do you good-

24
Q

Mrs Bennet: Oh Lydia, naughty girl! Put that journal down at once! Good gracious, isn´t Mr. Bennet cross enough in the morning?

A

Lydia: I only wanted to see if there are orders for moving Captain Denny´s regiment

25
Q

Kitty: At breakfast time?

A

Lydia: I do wish I knew where the regiment was to be stationed, Mama.

26
Q

Mrs Bennet: Don´t waste your time, my love. You are worthy of something more secure than a penniless fellow in a uniform.

A

Lydia: Ah, but think how their uniforms show off their dashing figures, Mama!

27
Q

Mrs Bennet: You mustn´t expect a girl to have as much sense as her mother. I daresay Lydia doesn´t think any more of men in uniform than I did at her age. I thought Mr. Wickham looked very becoming in his regimentals last week.

A

Lydia: Mama, my aunt Phillips says the Colonel Forster and Mr. Wickham are quite often standing in front of Clark´s library at Meryton. Couldn´t we walk into the village this afternoon?

28
Q

Elizabeth: Papa!

A

Lydia: (Enters) Well, thank heaven we’re rid of Collins for the day.

29
Q

Elizabeth: Nonsense! Charlotte wouldn’t look at him!

A

Lydia: (Go to Chairs) Not so hasty, Lizzie!

30
Q

Mrs. Bennet: Oh Jane, Lizzie is done for - she’s going to be an old maid! You’ve been crying. Oh, don’t tell me that anything has gone wrong between you and Mr. Bingley? Oh! Oh!

A

Lydia: (Skips with Kitty and Mary in hand) Ha, ha, ha - we seem to be the five graces nobody wants.

31
Q

Mrs.Bennet: Lydia! Lydia! My darling child! and Mr. Wickham! Allow me to greet my first son-in-law!

A

Lydia: (Enter) Oh mama! such a journey as we have had-

32
Q

Wickham: Terribly tedious, indeed! How is my new family?

A

Lydia: (Go-between Lizzie and Charles) (Hold out hand) Well congratulate me. I’m a married woman now!

33
Q

Jane: Welcome, Lydia dear.

A

Lydia: (Go to Jane and Charles) Ah, Jane, dear, and Charles!

34
Q

Elizabeth: That is hardly necessary.

A

Lydia: Lizzie, my child!

35
Q

Elizabeth: Lydia!

A

Lydia: (Go to Papa while talking) Did you have a nice journey back from London, Papa? We left quite soon after you - there was plenty of room in our chaise for you, wasn’t there, Mr. Wickham?

36
Q

Wickham: We should have been honored-

A

Lydia: Only think - it’s three whole months since I went away - Good gracious, I certainly had no idea of being married when I left. (Cross to Mama) Oh, Mama, do the people hereabouts know I’m married?

37
Q

Wickham: Of course, my dear, everyone knows it.

A

Lydia: Do you know what happened on our way down? Our chaise overtook William Goulding. I was determined he should know - I mean about my being married. So what do you think I did? I rested my hand on the window - like this - so that he’d see my wedding ring! The whole of Meryton will know by now. (Cross to Jane and Charles) Ah, my lady, you can still be the prettiest if you like, (Say out and hold out hand) but I’m the one who got married first. (Go and grab Wickham) And what do you all think of my new husband? I’m sure all you girls must envy me. Isn’t he charming?

38
Q

Wickham: You embarrass me, Mrs. Wickham!

A

Lydia: I only hope they have half my good luck! They both must go to Brighton, that’s the place to find husbands.

39
Q

Mrs. Bennet: But Lydia, darling, must you and Mr. Wickham live so far away?

A

Lydia: Why not? I’m going to love it. You and Papa and Sisters must come visit me. We shall be at New Castle all next winter, and I daresay there will be some balls. I’ll see that the girls get some good partners, you leave it to me. I’ll find husbands for them before the winter’s over.

40
Q

Elizabeth: Thank you for your kind intentions. But I don’t particularly care for your of getting husbands.

A

Lydia: (Scornful laugh) (Look to Wickham but say loudly) Jealously is a dreadful feeling. Poor Lizzie! I’m glad, Jane, that you, at any rate, are not cross at me at my getting a husband before you.

41
Q

Wickham: Ah, but perhaps your sister Jane will be able to follow your example very soon.

A

Lydia: I was the first at any rate.

42
Q

Mrs. Bennet: Lydia, my love, take Mr. Wickham upstairs. You’ll both need to prepare for luncheon - you can’t leave before that –

A

Lydia: (Turn to Jane) Don’t we make a nice couple, Jane? (Exit and go upstairs)
